SodaStream TERRA (Quick Connect): what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Ready to go immediately: CO2 cylinder for up to 60 L is included, unpack, click in, start sparkling straight away
- Quick Connect cylinder: insert and click in instead of screwing, takes seconds and no fiddling
- Five 1 L bottles: 2x plus 3x 1 L in the set, all dishwasher-safe, enough for the whole household
- Best exchange network: SodaStream cylinders can be exchanged almost everywhere in shops, the highest availability
Points of criticism
- Proprietary cylinder: Quick Connect cylinders do not fit screw-thread appliances from other brands, you are tied to the system
- Plastic housing: the look is functional, but less refined than stainless steel models from WMF or GROHE
- Manual operation: fizz strength only by feel via the push button, no selectable levels
